Slip and Fall

Slip and fall accidents are among the many categories that fall under personal injury law and generally are a result of hazardous conditions. At Solomon, Sherman & Gabay, with offices in Philadelphia, our attorneys defend slip and fall cases brought by individuals claiming negligent maintenance of premises.

Property owners, including individuals and businesses, are legally responsible for ensuring that guests and the general public are safe, while on their property. When injuries occur on their property as a result of hazardous conditions, owners may be liable.

A wide variety of situations for which property owners have been held accountable including:
